I want to share & discover more music, SO I am gonna start posting some favorites each week. I would love to hear what other people are listening too so throw your favorites in the comments or repost with what's been stuck in your head 🎵

Its Music Monday🎶 I went and saw Max Cooper 3D/AV Show last week and it was true magic music. Since then I've been listening thru Mr Cooper's discography and this single has me hooked Vertebrae / Forgotten Places by Max Cooper and Kathrin deBoer. Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j9t...

Throwback to Quest 1 with 3D glasses stickers 🥽 I remember when Q1 came out and I was excited thinking about uses that would open up from cutting the cord on VR. The devices have come far since this picture was taken, and with proposed camera access on the horizon I have a similar excitement again📸

Hi Bluesky! I'm Ian! I make games, ride unicycles, and I'm a huge nerd for XR Tech. Ya may know me from MIT Reality Hack, GDC, or ya may have just seen me unicycle by ya on the street. In any case cheers to finding other people on here, both known IRL and new URLs of folks sharing their cool stuff✨
